Went to a wedding and they had a poet dressed like a fox. You give him a word and he types out a poem on an old-timey typewriter. Of course, I chose ‘espresso’.
I asked him why a fox. So, he’s a professional poet. One of his friends gave him a fox costume as a joke. He wore it to his friend’s kid’s birthday party (IIRC), and loved it. He started doing that as a side hustle (wearing the costume at parties, writing poems), and later, started doing it full time. He says that it’s fun for everyone involved, and allows him to get creative with very little in terms of overextended expectations. REALLY nice guy!
Here he is:
I am so envious that this guy found such an amazing way to do what he loves.
Poetry or dressing as a fox?
Yes
Lol… for me the poetry. Although I think the “gimmick” of being the fox is kinda fun looking too.
I guess you managed to finally figure out what the fox says.
And he’s one of us hahaha
I’m not sure I would do the fox suit, but the idea of performing in public but able to hide as well doesn’t sound too bad. I think sometimes I would like that even as a non-poet. Might be less exhausting in the introversion aspects.
This is actually a surprisingly good poem for a jokester at a wedding.
I listened to a few of his poems, and they were all good. It was a bit infuriating (kidding) how good he was hahahahaha

I thought so, too, but nope. He’s just good

Very cool poem, and awesome idea to choose #espresso as a topic. 😅
If it wasn’t for the pictures, I would be thinking of a different kind of fox suit.
